Jacob Strader
Melisse, I'm impressed with the work you've done on your draft for the Jacob Strader. I did a little research, looking for old news articles that could be used for additional sources, as well as old photos and drawings that might be in the public domain and therefore available for upload to Commons. I see you already uploaded an image to Commons back in March, which is great! Do you need help adding it to the article? (Note, I left you another note on your user talk page on Commons.) Anyway, here are a few links that you may find helpful:

I don't remember if you were in this week's lab session, but if not, you may want to watch the archived version; we covered some techniques for searching out old news articles. Good luck, and let us know (ideally on our course talk page) if you have further questions! -Pete (talk) 18:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Quick note: I fixed the image and left an explanation in the edit-summary. :) –Quiddity (talk) 19:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
